That's what an adjustable length release is for.

Not exactly,the adjustable release is to get it to fit your hand and fingers so you can get proper finger placement on the trigger. But they can help with the loop as well.

Paul, Maybe you didn't understand what I meant. If you put a longer loop on your string and you pull to the same anchor point, you are not drawing the bowstring back as far. This shortens the "Power Stroke" and you loose speed.

That is true, but then you would be shooting the bow incorrectly. You could do this with a traditional bow or an older compound with a large valley. However the newer compound bows are draw length specific and you draw to a draw stop, not to your anchor point. If you did what are describing most would not be able to hold the bow because you would be holding too much weight. You need to match the draw stop to your anchor points.

I agree 100 percent with Tfox, every set up is different. I have multiple bows and none of them are the same, they all had to be tweaked depending on the ATA, the loop I used, or if I don't use one or the type of release I use. Hand held releases do not anchor the same way as a hunting wrist type release.

Was wondering if that was going to pop up in this thread. I had a longer than "normal" loop on my string when using T handle back tention releases because of the torque added to the arrow as I twisted 45 deg (thumb nuckle down.)A couple weeks agoIcut offtheD loopand am learning to usea string loop tied to the handle but it's a bugger to hook.
